About the piece
Painted in 1676 by Nicolaes Maes, this portrait exemplifies the refined elegance of Dutch portraiture. The sitter is depicted in a striking crimson gown with shimmering white sleeves and a delicate, translucent shawl. Her dignified presence is enhanced by classic pearl jewelry and a dark, atmospheric background that subtly opens into a twilight landscape.
